Patrick Loses Popularity Among Women
Reporting
Jon Keller

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Gov. Deval Patrick's popularity among women in Massachusetts has taken a nose dive.

According to a new Fast Track poll from Survey USA, Patrick's job approval rating has slumped to 47 percent, with 45 percent giving thumbs down to the governor's performance.

And women appear to be the most unhappy.

So what's driving the governor's popularity down?

Deval and Teddy are lucky, they're not on the ballot this year but John Kerry is! If early polls showing an Obama/McCain race being a dead heat hold true, Kerry has a lot of fence mending to do.

1. For the crime of endorsing Obama? If so, unjust words!

Or for being unlucky enough to be governor during an economic turn down?

Are you suggesting that Democrats should vote against Kerry for endorsing as he has? I certainly hope not.

2. Your post is a little misleading, isn't it?
"But the disenchantment runs deeper than presidential politics. Among the huge plurality of female and male voters who cite the economy as America's most pressing issues, Patrick's approval rating is a weak 40 percent, with the majority voicing disapproval."

Post courtesy of lukasahero, female Massachusetts voter who pulled the lever for both Patrick and Obama but whose approval rating for Patrick is falling. Oh and has every intention of voting for Kerry - again.
